3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING Please ensure that component parts shall be replaced with like components and that servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord. BEFORE FIRST USE Before connecting the appliance to an electrical power supply, let it stand for about 2 hours, which will reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the interior (See Care and Maintenance section). READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and the correct operating procedures for safe use. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. IMPORTANT WARNING! An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove the gasket, latches, lids or doors from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee the appliance harmless. DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in. DON T WAIT! DO IT NOW! WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD! Risk of fire or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects to aid in defrost. Please handle with care. Keep flammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from the refrigerator. Use nonflammable cleaner. Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! 1

4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING Please ensure that component parts shall be replaced with like components and that servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When throwing away an old fridge equipped with a door lock that cannot be opened from the inside, make sure that the lock is removed, disabled or destroyed before discarding. This will make it impossible for children to accidentally lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate. The appliance must be properly connected to an electrical power supply (See: Connection to Power Supply.) If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore is dangerous to consume. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning the appliance and replacing the light bulb. WARNING: Repairs should be performed by qualified service personnel only. Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliance (for example a hair dryer) and never attempt to scrape/remove ice/frost with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer. The rating plate containing the Model No/Serial No and other technical data specific to this unit, is located either inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall. ENERGY SAVING TIPS Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible. Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance.) Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperatures etc.) Before loading the appliance with packages of hot foods, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature. Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 3-5mm thick. If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket. Always consider instructions stated in sections Choosing the right location and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher. DISPOSING WORN OUT APPLIANCES The refrigerator system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing center. If you are unable to locate one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! 2

5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Remove exterior and interior packagings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 2 inches away from the wall. CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION 1) Select a place with a strong, level floor. 2) Allow 2 inches of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall. 3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption. 4) Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator, and your refrigerator will have to be defrosted more frequently. CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY Connect the appliance power cord to a properly grounded wall outlet. The required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate (inside the unit or on the exterior rear wall of the unit.) INSTALLATION Place the appliance firmly on a solid base. Some appliances have adjustable feet on the front side; use them to level the appliance. NOTES: This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTAL- LATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be built-in. This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE ONLY and is NOT intended for outdoor operation. 3

6 FEATURES Temperature control Freezer compartment with freezer door Refrigerator door bin Glass shelf CANSTOR door liner 2-litre bottle storage Levelling leg TEMPERATURE SELECTION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to 5, the coolest setting. The range of temperature controls are from position 0, or NO COOLING to 5, the coldest. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of 3 should be correct for home or office refrigerator use. NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or has been turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator-freezer will not start. Turning the refrigerator temperature control to the 0 position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit

7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches 1/4 inch or 3 or 4 mm. When defrosting, remove all food and set the thermostat to the OFF or 0 position. Put the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water. After the frost has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of refrigerator. The refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to the desired setting. Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating conditions resume automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch condensed water during defrosting. Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturer s warranty. DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED. After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. Should the freezer be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the lid open to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possibility of condensation, mold or odors. Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted. FREEZING FRESH FOODS Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foods. This compartment is designed for the short-term storage of frozen food. The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer. Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times. Carefully select food you intend to freeze, it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing. Use correct packaging and wrap it tight. The packaging should be airtight and shouldn t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods. Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods. When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions. Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading. It is extremely important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods. 5

8 1 DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared in the factory. Tilt the unit slightly towards the rear and prop it securely. Two people are required to tilt the unit during the door reversal process. 2 Remove the top right hinge cover. 3 Undo the screws.

Re-adjust the leveling feet as needed. 7

10 CLEANING THE APPLIANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Turn the temperature control to "0", unplug the unit, and remove the food and baskets. Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution. The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. CAUTION: Failure to unplug the refrigerator-freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury. POWER FAILURE Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator-freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food. VACATION TIME Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary. IF YOU MOVE Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base. Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator Never place hot foods in the refrigerator. Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator. Don t overload the refrigerator. Don t open the door unless necessary. Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors. 8

11 TROUBLESHOOTING Occasionally, a minor problem may arise, and a service call may not be necessary- use this troubleshooting guide for a possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call an authorized service depot or Danby s Toll Free Number for assistance. Tel: ( ). PROBLEM SOLUTION When the refrigerator does not work. Check to see if there is a power failure. Check if the power plug is plugged into the power outlet. Check that the fuse has not blown. When the refrigerator is cooling excessively. The temperature control dial may be set too high (low temperature). If you place food containing alot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets they will freeze easily. This does not indicate malfunction. When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently. The food may be packed too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air. You may have put something hot or a lot of food into the refrigerator. The door may not have been closed properly. The door gaskets may be damaged. The refrigerator may not be ventilated. There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces. The temperature control dial may not be set properly. When the defrosting water overflows inside the refrigerator and onto the floor. Check that the drain pipe and the drain hose are not obstructed. Check that the drain pan is housed properly. When condensation forms on the outside of the refrigerator. Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high such as during a wet season. This is the same result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass. It does not indicate a failure. Wipe dry with a dry cloth. When you hear a sound like water flowing. If you hear a sound like water flowing that is the sound of refrigerant flowing. It does not indicate a malfunction. When the cabinet s side panel heats up. The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened or closed frequently, when starting the unit, and when the unit operates in the summer with high ambient outside temperature. In such cases, do not touch the panel. The longer the compressor runs, the warmer the sides will get on the unit and the longer they will stay warm. 9
